Find the middle value in the list:

Average the two middle values:

Median for a list of dates:

Median of a parametric distribution:

The median represents the center of a distribution:

The median for a distribution without a single mode:

Find the median length, in miles, for 141 major rivers in North America:

Plot a Histogram for the data:

Probability that the length exceeds 90% of the median:

Smooth an irregularly spaced time series using a moving median:

A 90-day moving median:

Obtain a robust estimate of location when outliers are present:

Extreme values have a large influence on the Mean:

Compute medians for slices of a collection of paths of a random process:

Choose a few slice times:

Plot medians over these paths:

Find the median height for the children in a class:

Median is equivalent to a parametrized Quantile:

For nearly symmetric samples, Median and Mean are nearly the same:

For univariate data, Median coincides with SpatialMedian:

The Median of absolute deviations from the Median is MedianDeviation:

MovingMedian is a sequence of medians:

For any distribution, there is InverseCDF[dist,1/2]=Median[dist]:

Similarly for InverseSurvivalFunction:

For a continuous distribution, there is CDF[dist,Median[dist]]=1/2:

Similarly for SurvivalFunction:

For discrete distributions, the identity does not hold:

Median requires numeric values:

Median of data computed via Quantile does not always agree with Median:

Calculate median directly:

Specify linear interpolation parameters in Quantile:
